Best Rockamentry

[parabrave]

3 Choices: Woodstock, The Who Toronto 82 concert or The Bands' The Last Waltz.

For me a diehard Who fan its the Last Waltz.

[Bully13]

THUGH Stones.

Rock n' Roll Circus & Gimme Shelter (Altamont concert)

[Prediction? Pain.]

Never seen the Who Toronto 82 film, but both the others are great. I'd probably go with The Last Waltz is made to choose.

But we need more contenders. There are a lot of other good ones out there. Both Stones movies that 13 mentioned. If Scorsese's Bob Dylan and George Harrison documentaries count, they'd be up there, too. Bob Dylan's Don't Look Back. Dig!, the documentary about Brian Jonestown Massacre, is really interesting even if, like me, you're not much of a fan of the band. Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii is amazing, though I'm obviously very biased. 1991: The Year Punk Broke is an awesome look at the early 90's indie/"grunge" scene just before Nirvana exploded into the mainstream. Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is also great.

You hit a couple of mine with Rush and 1991. History of the Eagles was ok. Muscle Shoals was really good. Beware of Mr. Baker was good too.

Dave Grohl is coming out with a documentary about the Sound City studios. It looks cool.

Please Allow Me To excuse my prejudice but I was born and raised my 1st 17 years in The Delta and spent my next 7 years in Jackson. THUGH Stones righted so many wrongs regarding the MS Delta Greats. Muddy was painting walls at Chess Studios in Chicago when THUGH Stones walked in and were flabergasted. No way was their childhood idol gonna be painting walls. RESPECT HAPPENED. Love the "Rolling Fork" Reference Muddy Gives here. Muddy went from a painter to a touring dude with the Stones and died with some $ in his pocket thanks to intelligent British Rockers. Don't cut the video short, check out who arrives and joins in.

Were John Lennon & Pete Townsend getting off? Priceless. Rock N' Roll Circus is a MUST if you are serious about serous music shit.

You ever seen You See Me Laughing: The Last of the Hill Country Bluesmen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgo7MjUzhyM)? It's not about "rock" so I'm not sure if it qualifies for this discussion, but it's something all fans of Mississippi blues should see. Excellent music throughout from an interesting (and probably underappreciated) group of MS musicians.
